Thanksgiving 2012
Had the in-laws over this year and had a great time. Sandy made an incredible corn bread, her famous curried cashew salad, cranberry sauce, oven roasted squash & a double layer pumpkin cheesecake. I did a flat bread pizza appetizer, a parsnip puree and deep fried a turkey and didn’t take a single picture of …
Family get together
I was able to get together with family last Friday for a little holiday lunch. I haven’t seen Jon in what seem like 2o years! I chose Bocanova as I’ve walked by a few times and always wanted to try ’em. The food was excellent as was the company. I have to bring Sandy there.

Impromptu Date Night
I ferried in this evening to see the San Francisco Symphony perform a free outdoor concert. Unfortunately I got there so late it was impossible to get a good seat let alone a good photo. With that in mind we decided to grab a little something to eat. Pizza Orgasmica just off the Embarcadero! We …
